Treehouse
Climbing Dreams: The Poetic Journey of 'Treehouse' by The Clarks
Lyrics
Where you going, whatcha looking for
Questioning someone's destination and purpose.
You're looking alright to me
Expressing approval of the person's appearance.
When you grow up what do you want to be
Asking about future aspirations when growing up.
Watcha doing, can I play too
Expressing interest in joining someone's activity.
I had a good life today
Reflecting on a positive day experienced.
Mamma said it's alright, you can stay
Receiving permission from "Mamma" to stay.
And it's one, two, three I got my hey Marie
Counting and expressing excitement with "hey Marie."
Come on let's climb a tree up to the sky
Suggesting the idea of climbing a tree together.
What's the matter, do you feel alright
Concern about someone's well-being.
Maybe you should stay in bed
Suggesting rest or self-care for someone not feeling well.
Honey it's not what you did it's what you said
Emphasizing the importance of words over actions.
How'd you do that will you show me how
Expressing curiosity and a desire to learn from someone.
I want to grow up so fast
Yearning to grow up quickly.
No one told me that the child in me won't last
Realizing that the childlike innocence won't last.
Well, let's climb a tree, I got my hey Marie
Repeating the excitement and mention of "hey Marie."
Come on and look at me up in the sky
Inviting someone to witness a personal achievement.
I never had the chance to say goodbye
Expressing regret for not having the chance to say goodbye.
I never had a tree house in the sky
Regretting the absence of a cherished childhood memory (treehouse).
And it's one, two, three I got my hey Marie
Reiterating the excitement and mention of "hey Marie."
Come on and look at me up in the sky
Encouraging someone to witness personal growth.
Say goodbye goodbye
Bidding farewell.
